You know that exercise is good for you. However, actually starting to exercise is something else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Om je aan een trainingsroutine te houden, moet je eigenlijk gewoon naar buiten gaan als dat stemmetje in je hoofd zegt: “Dat doe ik morgen. Of de dag erna – misschien.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Motivation ensures that you will do it, where it is not just about perseverance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your fitness goal may be a little too big for you right now, especially if you're just starting to exercise again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beginners “willen voor maximale doelen gaan, maar ze raken vaak overweldigd”, zeggen experts op het gebied van inspanning en physiology<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So do not start unattainable goals such as training for an hour every day of the week. Instead, set more reasonable, achievable goals, such as exercising for 20 to 30 minutes two or three times a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Get realistic. In practice you will not be able to exercise every day, so you may miss a day or two. That's not bad at all. If you accept that there are some side roads in the path of your fitness journey, you will be better prepared mentally to deal with adversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Laat een misstap geen excuus zijn om op te geven. Maar herpak jezelf, de dag erna of in ieder geval zo snel mogelijk. Als je daarbij een stapje terug moet doen, geen probleem – als je maar weer in beweging komt!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Always keep a good record of your workouts, whether you do it online or in an old-fashioned fitness diary. When you see improvements and more results, whether you run faster, do more reps or train more often, you will increase the drive and motivation to keep going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There will always be someone fitter, faster or more flexible than you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don't compare yourself to someone else. That makes no sense. Don't let anyone deter you from achieving your own goal. Your training time is yours, go for it and see step by step what results you are getting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you can't get motivated, you may be doing the wrong activity. Or you used to like it, and now it's not your thing anymore because you've gotten older. Choose activities that you enjoy the most, which will make them something to look forward to. Remember that exercising doesn't necessarily have to happen in a gym. Maybe you prefer hiking or horseback riding, another one sport<\/a> doing, dancing or walking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Zoek mensen — vrienden, familie, collega’s, buren — die je zullen aanmoedigen om op het goede spoor te blijven. Vraag hen om precies dat te doen. Soms kan het delen van je doelstelling zowel jou als hen motiveren ervoor te zorgen dat je ervoor blijft gaan. Een simpele vraag van iemand hoe het met sporten gaat, kan je al doen beseffen dat je ervoor moet blijven gaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make an appointment with yourself to exercise for a few minutes. You may want to continue once you've started. If not, you can always do a few mini-sessions during the day, rather than one long workout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Als je het druk hebt, zorg er dan niet voor dat je eerst nog 30 minuten moeten rijden naar de sportschool. Gebruik in plaats daarvan online trainingsvideo’s om mee te beginnen. Als je bijvoorbeeld aan het eind van de dag te moe bent om te sporten, zet dan je wekker iets eerder en ga ’s ochtends lekker sporten. Je zal snel merken hoeveel lekkerder je overdag en tijdens werk zal gaan voelen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n So maybe you weren't the most athletic kid in high school and you were the last one picked for sports related games. But that was years ago. Your goal now is not to win competitions, but you want to exercise to stay healthy and enjoy your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Treat yourself once in a while because you are enjoying your workout. Of course not always after the training with the snacks, but for example once at a nice dinner with a good glass of wine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Kies beloningen zoals een nieuwe outfit, een massage, een goede documentaire kijken, een wedstrijd van je favoriete club bijwonen – wat je ook leuk vindt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sources including GoodHousekeeping (link<\/a>), runtastic (link<\/a>), VerywellFit (link<\/a>), WebMD (link<\/a>)<\/small><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Je weet dat sporten goed voor je is.
